James Lackey, senior vice president of the mission solutions sector at Parsons, was featured in a recent Executive Spotlight interview published Thursday. He discussed his transition from his three-decade career in the government to serving in the industry and what attracted him to the role at Parsons. The Q&A also tackled the company’s culture and workflow, as well as technology innovations needed to address current challenges in the federal landscape.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Lackey:
“From a system perspective, it’s really all about enhancing the kill chain. When you think about command and control considerations for platforms and systems, the sensors and enhanced sensors and applying developmental capabilities in that regard for platforms and systems, and then effectors like non-kinetic effects, like directed energy applications, that’s the world that Parsons lives in and we have the capability to do all of that. You want to drive that forward. I see these efforts as the company building that niche role as a lead systems integrator. We’re not an original equipment manufacturer. We’re not a small business, obviously, but we have a vast amount of capability to capitalize upon and to really be innovative and to drive innovation for our customers and their missions.”
